My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

PEX to replace galvanized pipes

17 years ago

My 50 year old home is starting show her age with the galvanized pipes. Clogged shower heads, slowing of the hot water at the sink.... cleaning out the pieces in each faucet is getting old. Good news is my piping is fairly accessible being at one story. My thought was to start at the water heater and snake new PEX line to replace the galvanized. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
